"I love your work. I use the Pine Creek map several times a week for mountain biking. I have lived in the area for 20 years now and thought I knew it all before I bought your map."  Mitch

A beautifully designed, easy to read topographic map featuring contour lines, elevation data, shaded relief, and all the key details you need to plan your adventures: backroads and trails, trail use designations, road surfaces (paved/gravel/4wd), the Pine Creek Rail Trail, parking access, campsites, public lands, historic sites and more. 

Lizard Maps are durable, waterproof, and give you the big picture – the map opens to 24” x 36” and folds easily to 4” x 8” to fit in your back pocket. The scale is 1:51,800 (1 inch = 0.8 mile). Includes both lat./lon. and UTM coordinate systems.

Destinations: Hyner View and the hang gliding launch and landing areas, historic CCC camps, Farrandsville iron furnace, and ‘The Stretch” catch and release fly fishing section of Pine Creek, one of America’s leading fly fishing destinations.

Roads: all Lizard Maps show which roads are paved, dirt/gravel or 4wd roads as well as which are gated. Perfect for bicyclists, dual sport riders and overlanders looking to put together a remote backcountry route across public lands.

Major hiking trails: the complete West Rim Trail, Tiadaghton Trail, 44-mile Black Forest Trail (considered to be one of the most difficult trails in PA), 50k Green Monster Trail.

Remote backpacking campsites are shown on the Black Forest, West Rim and Mid State Trails. The MST continues south on the Purple Lizard Bald Eagle Lizard Map.
